When I DJ a wedding, I like to sit down with the bride and groom and plan all the details of the reception so that I know when things are happening, and the wedding runs smoothly. When it was time for the wedding cake to be cut, there was no cake. A friend of the bride said she would do it for her...sad to say, but this is usually a BIG mistake, and this time it was a MAJOR mistake.
It is all right to have friends help with your wedding, but treat them like any other vendor. Be sure to (in the case of the cake) have a taste, look at previous cakes and SIGN a contract (they do not only protect the vendor, they can protect you as well). The caterers and I were wondering where the cake was and made several attempts to get a hold of this friend, to no avail. We finally decided to take care of the situation by calling nearby bakeries. We found a couple of them that had cakes that could be used in a pinch in place of a wedding cake. We went to Albertson's in American Fork and they took care of us. We got the cake back to the wedding and were shocked to find something waiting for us. Lets just say it was a good thing we did what we did. We snagged some decorations from one of the tables and used them to decorate and match the cake to the rest of the reception...man, were we good! I wish I had a picture of "THE SAVE" to show you how good we really were, but I forgot to snap one. I was too astonished at the other sight. Below you will find a picture of the cake that someone called a wedding cake. We hid it in the freezer and did not tell the bride. It would have ruined her day and that was not an option...
The cake or what ever it was (on an upside down cake pan)...are those suppose to be palm trees and hearts?
